Compass

The narrow footprint and smart back of the Compass toilet gives maximum space and maximum flexibility wherever it is installed on board. It can go straight to wall or even further towards the hull thanks to the cut away. The Compass is not limited by a vertical back. In this way the visual installation remains perfect, whatever installation space you have. The small footprint and the hose design facilitate a very easy installation. The discharge pipes can easily be connected either below the step or surface mounted in all directions. By having both a high and a short profile, the Compass range offers the maximum flexibility on board.

The performance of the macerator pump meets all quality standards, while the technology inside the toilet has been further developed to keep the sound emission to the lowest level possible, while limiting the water and electrical consumption to minimal levels. The installation, plumbing and wiring is easy and fast, with virtually no maintenance.

Both Compass High and Short version are equipped with an innovative soft closing system. A gentle finger touch to the lid activates the soft-close damper mechanism which controls the closing speed of the cover. In addition to user convenience, a slow-closing lid keeps noise to a minimum and prevents potential damage to the toilet seat.

The softclose damper mechanism is a design original to Tecma.

Which spares are suggested on board?

Normally a control panel and a pump are enough. Any case, keeping a kit of rubber hoses too will make it possible to reset a completely toilet. Inlet solenoid is normally a very reliable component.

What kind of tube has to be used?

Tecma macerator pump is able to discharge through any kind of tube (armovir, PVC, safe odor….). Check the diameter. Is it possible to flush into DN32, but this reduced section requires more power. Whenever is possible, use DN40.

Is it possible to use acid or aggressive products for cleaning the toilet?

Plastic and rubber components of the toilet have been tested with several commercial cleaning agents. Normally no problem has been found. Any case, products containing vinegar, acetone, trielina and generic solvents must be avoided, because they can make the rubber fragile. Avoid the usage of products in gel or in foam, because they could close the air vent tube.

Is frequently maintenance needed?

Tecma products do not need a specific maintenance or winterization. Any case, the usage of additives could be helpful (Thetford Tank Freshener) to maintain the discharge pipeline clean. This kind of product helps in avoiding odors and in flushing. It is safe for plastics and tubes. For inlet pump and solenoids, keep the strainers clean.

Is it possible to connect more toilets to the same line?

Yes. In this case a “Y” fitting is needed, in spite of “T” ones, to drive the flow to the tank. Always add a siphon break to prevent siphoning.

Tissue

Tecma is designed to process only toilet paper. Do not use other kind of tissue paper or kitchen paper towel. Thetford’s Aqua-Soft toilet paper is recommended.

Waste

Only human waste and toilet paper should be put in to the toilet. Never flush foreign materials (e.g. paper towels, pre-moistened wipes, condoms, feminine hygene products, dental floss, household garbage, etc.)

Bad odors

If you have bad odours, be sure the smell is really coming out from the toilet. Sometimes the hot environment and the absence of usage could cause the drying of the water in the siphons of shower and sink (smaller than the toilet one). The siphon are used as “water traps”. Once they are dry, a direct connection for the air from the sewage and the bathroom is created. Then you have the bad odor. If the odor is from the toilet it means there is direct connection with the tank. Check that the system is designed properly and that, after use, the toilet remains isolated from the tank with a water trap.
